I am sure once it starts supporting the language, Japanese carrier will launch the devices. But you have to wait till mid of 2011 as per my guess.

My Evo is AWESOME until the battery dies because I’ve got 4 things running in the background. This will stop that from happening. Music Apps do stream in the background as well as the marketplace.

I would think that Microsoft Japan would seriously be pushing for it.
Also, will the Kinect coming out this holiday season and Windows 7 already receiving great praise, why not show people the level of connectivity with Windows 7, Xbox Live, and Windows Phone 7?

I’m surprised Dell hasn’t done anything too. If I were them, I would approach someone like Softbank and offer deals like “Buy a Dell Windows Phone 7 device on a 2 year contract, and get a Dell Mini for $100.”

Seems like Microsoft Japan only focuses on it’s OS and prioritary software sales.
Don’t know how they can afford to keep other departments open when they fail to advertise. (Xbox 360 advertising is abysmal here in Tokyo.)
